MALAYSIA SHAME

1. There was a time not so very long ago when Malaysia was admired for successfully raising itself from an impoverished third world country into a stable newly industrialised country. No one doubted that its announced intention to become a developed country by 2020 would be achieved.

2. But today when we go abroad we are asked, “Hey, what happened to your country.” Some mention 1MDB and the corrupt Government which has lost billions of dollars. Many comment on the lavish lifestyle of the Prime Minister.

3. They asked these questions because reputable foreign newspapers publish stories about 1MDB, about the Prime Minister having appropriated to himself billions of dollars, about huge amounts of money in his private accounts, about his lavish life-style. No Malaysian Prime Minister can afford the grand wedding that he had for his daughter.

4. Although Malaysians read only good things about Najib in the local media but the alternative media do not mince words when expressing their disgust with Najib and the sycophants covering up for him. When the Wall Street Journal reported that the PM has 2.6 billion Ringgit in his private account in AMBank, the world laughed at Najib’s claim that it was a donation from an Arab.

5. Then there is the story of the purchase of submarines from a French company. It is now before a French court. Razak Baginda, a close associate of Najib, and the companies owned by him have been named in the court case.

6. Razak had no authority to decide on Government purchases. But Najib as Minister of Defence had. Whatever, if Razak or his company received money from the builders of the submarines; he should be hauled up before the French court.

7. The Malaysian A.G. would certainly not charge Razak because it might lead to Najib’s name being brought in. The A.G. has already not only dismissed but hidden the reports by Bank Negara and MACC.

8. All these and more have given Malaysia a bad name. Najib’s name is even worse. Malaysians are generally ashamed of these things and the role of their Prime Minister in these scandals.

9. To clear Malaysia’s good name and his own, Najib must prove beyond a shadow of doubt that he is innocent of all the accusation against him. The A.G. saying he is innocent means nothing. He, the A.G. has no credibility.

10. Failing this Najib should resign. So should all those who have been covering up and abusing their authority so as to save Najib.

11. Malaysia must be freed from a Prime Minister with such a bad reputation if it is to regain its reputation.


MEMALUKAN MALAYSIA (Versi Bahasa Melayu)

1. Ada satu masa tidak berapa lama dahulu apabila Malaysia dikagumi kerana kejayaan meningkatkan dirinya daripada sebuah negara dunia ketiga yang miskin menjadi sebuah negara industry baru yang stabil. Tiada siapa meragui bahawa ia akan mengumumkan hasratnya untuk menjadi sebuah negara maju menjelang tahun 2020 akan tercapai.

2. Tetapi hari ini apabila kita pergi ke luar negara, kita akan disoal “Apa yang berlaku kepada negara anda?” Ada yang mengatakan 1MDB dan unsur korup di dalam Kerajaan penyebab kehilangan berbilion-bilion dollar. Ramai yang memberi komen tentang gaya hidup mewah Perdana Menteri.

3. Mereka bertanyakan soalan sebegini kerana suratkhabar-suratkhabar asing yang bereputasi tinggi telah menerbitkan cerita-cerita tentang 1MDB, tentang berbilion dolar wang untuk kegunaan PM sendiri, tentang jumlah wang yang besar di dalam akaun peribadinya, tentang gaya hidup mewah beliau. Tidak ada Perdana Menteri Malaysia mampu mengadakan majlis perkahwinan besar-besaran seperti yang dilakukan untuk anak perempuannya.

4. Walaupun rakyat Malaysia membaca hanya perkara-perkara yang baik mengenai Najib di dalam media tempatan tetapi media alternatif tidak menyembunyikan perkataan apabila menyuarakan rasa meluat mereka dengan Najib dan pengampu yang melindunginya. Apabila Wall Street Journal melaporkan bahawa PM mempunyai 2.6 bilion Ringgit dalam akaun peribadinya di AmBank, dunia mentertawakan Najib kerana mendakwa ini adalah derma yang diberi orang Arab.

5. Kemudiannya ada pula kisah pembelian kapal selam dari syarikat Perancis. Kini dihadapkan di mahkamah Perancis. Razak Baginda, rakan karib Najib, dan syarikat-syarikat yang dimiliki beliau telah dinamakan dalam kes mahkamah.

6. Razak tidak punyai kuasa untuk membuat keputusan mengenai pembelian Kerajaan. Tetapi Najib sebagai Menteri Pertahanan telah melakukannya. Apa pun, sekiranya Razak atau syarikatnya menerima wang dari pembuat kapal selam; dia harus ditahan di hadapan mahkamah Perancis.

7. Peguam Negara Malaysia pasti tidak akan mendakwa Razak kerana ia mungkin membawa kepada perkaitan nama Najib. Peguam Negara telahpun bukan sahaja menolak bahkan menyembunyi laporan oleh Bank Negara dan SPRM.

8. Kesemua ini dan banyak lagi telah memberikan nama buruk buat Malaysia. Nama Najib sememangnya lebih buruk. Rakyat Malaysia secara umumnya berasa malu dengan perkara-perkara ini dan Perdana Menteri berperanan dalam skandal sebegini.

9. Untuk membersihkan nama baik Malaysia dan beliau sendiri, Najib mesti membuktikan di luar bayangan keraguan bahawa dia tidak bersalah terhadap semua pertuduhan ini. Peguam Negara berkata beliau tidak bersalah tidak membawa apa-apa makna. Dia, Peguam Negara yang tidak punyai kredibiliti.

10. Kegagalan melakukan ini memerlukan Najib meletakkan jawatan. Juga kepada kesemua mereka-mereka yang telah membantu menutupi kesalahan ini dan salahguna kuasa untuk menyelamatkan Najib.

11. Malaysia mesti dibebaskan daripada seorang Perdana Menteri yang berprestasi buruk sekiranya ingin meraih semula reputasinya.
